Starting point is 00:00:00 Oh no, it's rolling, baby! Nah It's taken us about four or five hours to even get to this stage Not true, what are you chatting? Isn't almost 10 o'clock? Well yeah, because you're on Instagram Reels I wasn't No, you, neither of you were productive, either
Starting point is 00:00:47 More productive than you What have you done? I've assessed and judged the current I've assessed the current vibe and I've put in a plan to correct it and ensure that the QC of JAR Media is met as per usual as my official role is post JARMedia is to understand that the QC is done appropriately and that I've just assessed both of your moods to determine that it will
Starting point is 00:01:23 be good. I got something a bit QT. And it's the... I wanted to shoot this by you guys because I wanted your opinions on this. And I want you guys to be honest and real. I've got a new name for the Jowlings. No. That's better than Jowlings.
Starting point is 00:01:49 No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. Hear me out first. Sorry, no. I'm thinking Sliders. Sliders. No. Sliders.
Starting point is 00:02:01 Why sliders? Why not, first off? I'm not saying anything against it. I'm just saying, I've got the beans to back. You're going to have to give more of a reason than just, I've got the beans to back. What have they done to make them deserve the nickname of Sliders? Well, because I've always, like, personally thought it's been cool to go by the term like, blade runner you know something like that but that's already taken
Starting point is 00:02:32 sliders ain't no no i don't think of this the content on this channel is specifically focused enough what about blade sliders blade sliders james finish what you were saying they don't do anything that is sliding related so why should they be called sliders you don't know that for us that yeah
Starting point is 00:02:55 they could be they could all be snowboarders for all you know I've seen the demographics that's mostly what they are no sliders I don't I don't believe I disagree it's like the most more accurate one would be gooners that's that's what would be accurate
Starting point is 00:03:12 but that's also taken yeah by Arsenal yeah so okay I guess what about Mingers? Mingers it's too it's too charged yeah
Starting point is 00:03:23 it's derogatory okay fair play but sliders what do you think of with that? I'm cool with it. I think of drifters. Penguins drifting. No, drifting. I think of being a slider. And nobody... Flip-lops. Gucci. Gucci sliders. So all the best things, mate. This is a great idea. Uh-huh. Huh? No. Eh? Huh? Huh? Well, I guess before we get too deep into the show, let's shout out the Jail Media, Patreon.
Starting point is 00:03:58 that make the audio version possible and get their names read out in the first or second week of cold of each month while James is cold and not sliding penguins are probably cold they slide they're not cold they're juiced
Starting point is 00:04:14 penguins are juiced up I'm sweating bro you're wearing an uddy you're wearing possibly no this is a tangent but you are wearing an uddy annoys me
Starting point is 00:04:30 why I know but I can't criticize you because this wasn't something you bought but it's not an Odie what is it then I don't know it's just some like off-brand Odie oh it's just because
Starting point is 00:04:43 like buying an Odie is like their marketing campaign is so obnoxious that yeah because they're Australian yeah that I think that I have like a more you're morally against Australia no i'm saying i'm morally against falling for uddy's marketing campaign like i i have a a white to not buy an uddy because their marketing campaigns are so dog shit i agree with james
Starting point is 00:05:12 on that like if something a league of legends shut up no that's a great example something i think i've talked about on this very podcast like if if it if you have an advertising campaign like designed to, like, just get into your head and annoy you, then I'm not going to give you money. That bloody migraine, keep your suit, cool and soothe, same bullshit that I'm never, it doesn't matter. If I spend the rest of my life in nothing but agony from migraines, I'm not going to buy a cool and soothe because they're, their adverts are scientifically designed to give you migraines. I'm not buying them. You can't have your catchphrase and repeat it five times.
Starting point is 00:05:58 times in your 30 second advert. Mm-hmm. You can't. No, you can't. I like it. No, because any time we've talked about marketing on this, people have got will you anger at me because, like, James, you don't understand marketing.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Marketing doesn't exist. There's no such thing as marketing. Marketing's bullshit. Because who's fooling for any of this shit that these adverts say? Have you ever watched an advert and been like, I'm going to buy that? Because this whole idea is that is subconsciously influencing you. But I'd never ever buy anything than ever I see
Starting point is 00:06:30 No man it's more complicated than that Audio is the way to get When you get when like In the old days when you're driving a car Listening to radio And you hear That at the auto glass replace Autoclass fucking whatever
Starting point is 00:06:46 Yeah They've put it in there So then oh no I've like I've done some drifting slammed into a lamp post My windshield messed up What am I going to do? Autoclass repair.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Autoclass for a place. Oh, I can replace my winchew. Yeah. Oh, no. I'm stuck here on the side of the road. Oh, McD's. I can really go through a MacD's. It works.
Starting point is 00:07:11 But when it goes into like some whatever League of Legends tried to do. But what? I can't remember these League of Legends. They were so bad. They were like made by fans or something weird. Yeah. Yeah. So it was trying to appear like humble.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Yeah, it was made by the League of Legends community, so it was made by the most, like, awful people on the planet. It was made by Reditors. Yeah. Yeah. The most terrible people that exist. Yeah. Therefore,
Starting point is 00:07:44 you, like, just confirmed that I'm never going to play your game. You know? Oh, well. You're not really missing out on much. No. I'll tell you what is being missed out on. That's the housekeeping segment. where we have some juicing going on in the comments.
Starting point is 00:07:59 We've got some big juices just squirt in their slime all over the damn joint. You know what I'm saying? Including, and this is crazy, the evil jarling wrote in regarding this story from the previous episode about them basically showing up in some Australian thing. A Jaya patron tried to an organization. and tried to organise through the Patreon name segment
Starting point is 00:08:28 a meetup, expecting people to show up and miraculously this one person did show up but then robbed them. Robbed them of an avatar way of the water ticket. But yeah,
Starting point is 00:08:42 the evil jarling wrote in to give their side of the story so I want you to give, keep your minds open and listen and hear them out. Alex said I have some explaining to do so here it is. I'm the real evil Jarling on a burner account in case I get hate on my main. I can prove it by giving extra details that the other Perth Jarling can confirm.
Starting point is 00:09:03 He wore a red top with short blonde hair and we bonded over our mutual love of talking heads, a band I've never actually listened to you. The deception continues. The Jarling lied about how long he was waiting. I was not 30 minutes late, only about 15 or so minutes late. And when I arrived, he was basically alone at the meeting spot. There weren't all these extra people for him to embarrassingly ask about Jha. If what I did was so evil and cold, why would he lie about these extra details?
Starting point is 00:09:34 Shouldn't the objective facts be enough to make me the bad guy alone? So, my side of the story. I really wanted to see Avatar 2 in the best possible screening, so I picked a Perth location nearby the best cinema at the best time. All of this was deliberate planning. However, I didn't have a huge amount of money, so I thought I would use this plan to get some food and an expensive 3D IMAX ticket for a fraction of the price by paying for this Patreon name instead. But I planned on more gowlings coming so that my cheapness would go more unnoticed. When I met with the single gowling, I actually felt like I was hitting it off with them, even though I was living a complete lie.
Starting point is 00:10:15 I got lost in our conversations, almost missing the screening altogether. When I lied, I felt excitement, but when I told the truth, I felt connected, even if it would be all undone once they knew about the lies. When the movie ended, loved it by the way, I knew this friendship wouldn't ever work since it was built on such manipulation. I just abandoned ship to avoid the messy reveal of my true goal. My question is this, do you think I am truly the evil jarling or just a bit flawed and selfish? and do you think I have any place to reach out to this Jarling to make amends maybe take them on the meetup they wanted all along
Starting point is 00:10:54 I would say sorry but honestly it was so cool how this plan worked I'm still on a high from it even if part of me is sorry I can't apologize in good conscience knowing I may do this again holy shit you know what we just talked about Australia
Starting point is 00:11:16 millions and udees. If his plan was to get food and to see Avatar, and this is how he went about it. Like, genius. The fact that it worked. Like, I would say, like, that is the stupidest plan. Yeah, the worst plan ever.
Starting point is 00:11:35 The least reliable plan. It's such a long payoff. This guy's going to, like, rob a bank. That's the long cone, yeah. No, if he's taking pleasure out of it, Absolutely. My man's on the downward. It was viable. Yeah. And I'm torn because what he did is morally, objectively bad, but there's...
Starting point is 00:11:54 You got to respect it. There's some layer of respect. Yeah. Just bit for how honest he's being, too. No, but what about this is a woo? What about this is part of his plan? Mm. But also, like, we need the other guy now to now confirm if he was wearing a red shirt and had this hair.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Why would the other guy lie? Which other guy? The original storyteller. For comedic effect. For comedic effect and or, like, it feels like a lot more people when you're having to introduce yourself to strangers. And if he was 15 minutes later, how would you know what happened as well in that time? Maybe there were people there. How would you know that?
Starting point is 00:12:37 Yeah, and maybe this is a guy that expects sort of like timeliness. So, like, if someone says six o'clock, you get there at quarter to you. you know that stuff like I wouldn't dwell on but this could be the start of like the most incredible friendship that's the thing
Starting point is 00:12:57 because he said it's not only does he have this whole elaborate scheme but he also admits that he did actually hit it off with this yeah I think these two should team up and start scheming like across the globe yeah get get some other jarlings in on your scheme and some crazy stuff might
Starting point is 00:13:13 How many movies could you see for free? Go bigger than just movies. If you're going to do this, you might as well come. Yeah, how many houses can you... Start of the great EMP plan. Yeah. Maybe I'll edit that out for good measure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:28 Well, the EMP plan? Mm-hmm. No, you don't need to edit that out. Well, he does, because if it comes to fruition, this is evidence. I suppose the EMP will just delete this. Oh, yeah, I guess. Yeah, good point. It's genius.
Starting point is 00:13:43 Yeah, so I'm a little bit flawed. I'm a little bit emotional about this. I'm a little bit unsure. I'm a bit torn up. Exploring the greyness of the truth of things. There's manipulation and betrayal. He's going to keep chasing highs, but that will lead him down a path and he'll lead him to nothing but to walk bottom.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Is that short-term hire you're getting from destroying someone's life, worth it? well it depends what the payoff is dopamine rushes every day thinking of what you've done oh destroying someone's life well yeah they're the other ones saying that they're like probably all of it
Starting point is 00:14:29 now he's going to always have positive associations with the way of water thinking about this time he got to see it for naught for just a patron name yeah no but surely it can't like that that amount of time itself can't be worth a movie ticket what to say to meet up
Starting point is 00:14:50 and then that's like a whole month but he wasn't like sat there the whole time like you know Tyler Dirdering it he might have been well this might be a Tyler Dutton in the making I think it's all bullshit I think these two people yeah they're trying to get one out they get no because it's happened before the fans of like fucking bullshit as they're wearing to making us believe their stories. Are they ARGing us? Yes.
Starting point is 00:15:20 I don't, this situation is not real. We're getting one story a certain way than the counterpoint puts in more facts and makes us question the original story but they're both false. Neither of these people saw it. You would expect two
Starting point is 00:15:35 accounts, especially when it's this charged. No, you're missing the main point. He said that he's using a burn. account who doesn't want to get hate on his real account his real account the real account is the first account that posted it the same guy this is all a joke on us i'm believing shit okay i want to believe it's true i want to believe it's true but this is why i want you guys to constantly be keeping me in check with your thinking caps on looking for gaps in the story well all you have to say is jamie can you fact check that
Starting point is 00:16:12 and I'll be on it Woo No, no We'll get you to fact check it And then we'll just disagree If you're fact checking And continue anyway That's the podcasting way
Starting point is 00:16:25 Well speaking of the podcasting way Johnny Bongo drums asks Well they don't actually ask anything They just say I love these boys Not in a gay way But in the same way I love my dogs
Starting point is 00:16:37 Why don't you love us in the gayway Well underpaid lamb Actually replied saying I love them in a gateway okay thanks yeah we appreciate it I don't um man there was some really good conversations last episode just like um they're okay you mentioned this one about overstimulation to which bass Jacob says I can definitely relate to the discussion about how overstimulated we are nowadays as I used to regularly play
Starting point is 00:17:05 video games while listening to podcasts or whatever else on YouTube it's reached a point where I barely just play the game so I really just play the game so I really I recently decided to do an experiment and cut out all gaming for the time being. And I just discovered how little I had going on outside of work and gaming. That's admittedly my own fault, but it's just interesting. Sorry, it's been interesting to find new hobbies. As a result of this, I experimented and got into cooking and baking. I'm not any worse off from this experiment,
Starting point is 00:17:34 and it got me thinking how else I can fulfill my life besides gaming. I am feeling a strong desire to get back into gaming, especially when I just want to... unwind at the end of the day. I think that is a, um, I think, I think the heinous thing about games, like especially at the moment with like battle passes and stuff,
Starting point is 00:17:56 is FOMO. FOMO and the disrespect of your time. Yeah. But I think games inherently have like a, like with the quantity now of how many like AAA games there are. All asking for all. your time yeah it's it's like i have that feeling where like well if i if i'm watching a movie then i'm missing out on leveling up in cod or like continuing my sieve save or and like
Starting point is 00:18:26 like sieve is an example of a game that isn't designed to to like cod's battle pass is designed to give me firmer and you're getting like recurring rewards yeah all the time but it's like I just need to be, like, playing something. It is, like, a total sort of addictive mindset. Mm-hmm. And I think, like, a big break from gaming is a really healthy thing. Absolutely. If you are a gamer.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Just take... Do, like, a dry January thing. Yeah. Not even a month, though. Do, like, a week. See how you feel. And, like, just try other things. Because it's so easy for...
Starting point is 00:19:12 it to just be like this is my thing that i do i think one of the thing is taking it is like you said the fact that with games it you go from just trying to escape and you know a work day you know you finish work and just having some chill time and it becomes a more time-consuming aspect of your life i think the way to view that is to remove yourself from that and then spend your time investing in something that has a law long-term benefits like a car project where it's something you chip away on over
Starting point is 00:19:47 months because then there's a much healthier way to invest any of your time because it's like there's a result at the end so you can be proud of short term versus long-term rewards like Warhammer any models any like any artsy stuff like that learning an instrument or learning skill
Starting point is 00:20:02 or like baking that is exactly baking is that and like you can further your ability and have like long term investment. Because this is where all these white ringers and grind set people try to like
Starting point is 00:20:17 take a jab in is like oh you should be like expanding your skill set and all this shit as a way to be like on the grind but this is not that it's a simple case of you'll be better for it by just not having this these don't mean. That's the thing that there's all those grinds setters and that kind of content
Starting point is 00:20:36 unfortunately like does get right there's like truth in things they're saying yeah a lot of like the conclusions are absurd whereas like yeah expanding your skill set and having varied hobbies is good like there's nothing bad especially for your mental health yeah um but the key always just comes back to that word balance that is the true challenge of everything um with everything uh kind of asking and deploying such easy methods of like little dopamine hits whether it be just a little can or a bit of XP dropping cod or any of it the balance is key but I don't I'm still learning how to find that balance yeah it's it's I think it's an ongoing
Starting point is 00:21:25 battle throughout your whole life mm-hmm yeah everyone fired bro it's good to think about there and kind of check yourself sometimes because thinking about especially when I was like a teenager and stuff it's all like all out of whack and it's like the balance was definitely off in certain ways I've had yeah
Starting point is 00:21:49 I basically have the extreme balance be in all the different extremes at different parts of my life yeah and it's like you've got so much time to like cast a wide net
Starting point is 00:22:08 and it's never too late it's like the I don't think any of us are like old but I get into that mindset where it's like well that that ship has sailed yeah no I do the same thing there's that there's a really good line in the first season of
Starting point is 00:22:29 true detective where the Matthew McConaugh character says something along the lines of you best decide the one thing you like because there's only enough time in this life to get good at one thing like truly that's a lie
Starting point is 00:22:45 but the what it's saying is like yeah time is a resource and the time's running out so you better like choose what you're doing with it wisely you know that's what it all kind of feeds into
Starting point is 00:22:59 yeah it's that quote as well I disagree because that's like saying as if the next 60 years of your life is going to go by incredibly quickly but no 60 years you have an obscene amount of time like it's been
Starting point is 00:23:15 five weeks and I'm really deep in Warhammer and I'm getting better than that five weeks I've got another 60 left of my life that's five weeks 60 weeks 60 years if it's taken me five weeks to get into a new hobby there's none of this pick a hobby over and get good at because your time is running out
Starting point is 00:23:32 so I don't understand what you mean it's the philosophy of what you're saying it could be like interpreted as like just do something like it like I love video games but like if it's all you do when you yeah is wasting your time mm-hmm like yeah the difference between sinking 2,000 hours into a destiny save yeah compared to 2,000 hours into some kind of personal project compared to if you're like have crocheted for 2,000 hours if you've
Starting point is 00:24:09 done anything basically you're going to have a different kind of result that is one of the like kind of traps and curses of video games is like sure you can get like addicted to binge watching like TV or
Starting point is 00:24:24 movies I guess but they're more of like a self-contained kind of package like where it's a video game like you can just sink well especially now with everything just designed to like go on forever yeah you got your rogue likes you got your MMOs you're all these like your cards or whatever they're all like so infinite in what they're
Starting point is 00:24:45 expected and weirdly as i get older that kind of thing is way less alluring to me yeah as something like a dead space remake or something where i know there's like a or got a war or something where it's like a there is like a limit to this yeah um but like man when i was a teenager that idea of like because it was right as you know destiny was coming out and they were figuring out like with cod and stuff how just how much time you can sap out of someone and how especially now they've figured out how to monetize that as well yeah as getting that time like it's just kind of i will say just saying that people should invest their time or wisely it's not good for saying that it's not good for someone's mental health because i've always struggled with the idea up until probably
Starting point is 00:25:30 23 of this idea that I'm hearing all these people say that I should invest my time better but that only makes me more depressed because then I feel like I am wasting my time because I don't have fire to invest in any other hobbies and I think that can crush someone in a way that a lot of things can't no I don't think the the statement is like make more of your time it's just like you do do stuff in moderation yeah with a balance Yeah, it's like... If someone doesn't have anything else but games, you can't just, they can't just magically find something, you know?
Starting point is 00:26:11 Because there needs to be like a fire there to make people want to. But it's, it's so much easier than it seems, like... You know, it actually is, but when you're in that state, like I was, your brain is so limited by what you already do. So you can't... It's difficult to, like, know how to get into these other things. that's the thing with like exercise i've said before where it's like you well don't go for a six mile run go for a one mile walk go for a half mile walk just go out and like see how easy that is
Starting point is 00:26:44 yeah and then just make it a weekly thing and then you're then it then it becomes part of like the gaming was just something you do we're now going for a walk it's something you do and then you can like gradually increase that and then yeah because what is it it's like it's something like 30 or days it takes to like cement a new kind of pathway in your mind where it stops being like a struggle and just becomes part of like what you are yeah yeah especially if you're talking about similar and it's it's it's it's like the inverse of addiction but it has like the same like properties well like if like with with with smoking if you stop smoking for a month
Starting point is 00:27:30 the next few months are going to be a lot easier not to say that like it's a total walk in the path walk in the park chip chopped you know what I'm saying yeah I'll tell you what I'm saying I guess we can round off this section with talking about this woolly mammoth conversation there's a bit of a dialogue going on about this which Nick Rogers can get started about.
Starting point is 00:28:00 The ethics of bringing back a mammoth. Regarding the de-extinction of the mammoth, it's my understanding as someone who studies biology that humans likely played a role in the extinction of the woolly mammoth through overhunting as we migrated into their natural range during the... Pleistocene though the exact circumstances of their extinction is unsettled.
Starting point is 00:28:22 As Alex mentioned, the ecological niche which the mammoths occupied still exist today, in the Arctic tundra, and they've been proposed as a solution to slow permafrost thaw, because they would remove trees and convert landscapes to grassland, which would help keep the ground cool in that environment as the planet continues warming. There are other more interesting ethical questions regarding de-extinction, in my opinion, such as learned behavior. A large part of what makes species unique is the behavior they acquire from their parents
Starting point is 00:28:52 and their life cycle. Since no mammoths exist today, there would be nothing to show a close. blown mammoth, the behavior and skills it would need to survive in the Arctic environment. The closest we would come is by socialing it with the closest living relatives such as elephants. But this is exactly the reason that it's still so important to protect wild species at risk of extinction, even if de-extinction becomes viable. While some animal behavior is genetic, learned behavior and proper socialization could be lost forever. While de-extinction technology could conceivably one day assist with conservation efforts,
Starting point is 00:29:25 never be a silver bullet that solves the ongoing threat of biodiversity loss as 150 to 200 plant and animal species go extinct every day interesting discussion regardless love the show bear bear um no this is a great idea mammoths but we bring them up in the habitat of cats so they have cat behaviors i think they would just be fucking lit climbing mammoths it'll be like like Kim Kardashian has like a pet mammoth. Yeah, that wouldn't be it, but... No, but that's what it would be. Like, all the richest people, like Jeff Bezos, riding his mammoth. Okay, maybe that's not doing anything, but... Yeah, because...
Starting point is 00:30:08 Let's extinctify them instead. What, rich people? Yeah. Yeah. That's such a fascinating idea, though, like... I've never considered that, because, like, if you just climbed a human and then had him totally...
Starting point is 00:30:25 isolated yeah like what sort of yeah no because that i think i mentioned it on a cast like quite a few months ago when i was obsessed with like orangutan videos yeah there are like little pockets of them that know certain skills because they have skills they've passed down through generations that just yeah because of where they are in that environment have and it's the same with like chimps and gorillas and monkeys like all sorts of uh species so it's like i think our understanding of like animal behavior for a long time was we were like putting them down when it's like they're they're way more similar to us than yeah they're the experts of their environment and what they have yeah yeah um yeah no i do like thinking about that though because
Starting point is 00:31:19 it's like it would be fascinating to observe what instincts like a woolly mammoth would have you know like what it would do naturally without being taught and like what i mean that would be interesting for any animal to just like make one and see how it behaves without any yeah just thinking about it in terms of something though that doesn't actually even exist anymore yeah like there's not even an option of it copying something like a you know like an alive example yeah yeah yeah Apple B. John says to contribute to the mammoth discussion, humans are largely responsible for the extinction for most species of megafauna, like the giant sloth or woolly mammoth. We were unfortunately too good at hunting, and they were great sources of food to keep communities fed. As for the benefits of returning them from extinction, the simple explanation is that large animals wandering the tundra of Siberia used to help and would help again if returned to life, with the compression of snow and ice, keeping the permafrost from melting.
Starting point is 00:32:23 There are already projects working to introduce current large animals like bison to the region for the same reason. Removing and or adding species to an area is always risky since there's no way to know for sure how it's going to go. But as an example, the reintroduction of wolves to American national parks hugely improved their ecosystem. There's a lot of potential benefits to bring in the mammoth and similar animals back. Also, it would be cool to see real mammoths, and for that reason alone I say do it. Um Yeah I just hate how many people are more intelligent than me
Starting point is 00:33:03 Yeah that bugs me as well Yeah Maybe if you spent your spare time running about ecosystems And not playing video games and civilisation You'd actually be smart But I need to finish levelling up all the sniper raffles in Call of Duty No you need to play civilisation I'd never even considered the idea that like
Starting point is 00:33:21 just a bunch of animals walking around compacting ice could have an effect on the environment and change temperatures but surely it couldn't have that much of an effect to where like we could delay the inevitable
Starting point is 00:33:36 I don't know I don't know people smarter than me are all thinking about this it's called an engineering problem not an inevitability let's make a floodgate no
Starting point is 00:33:48 there was this kind of messed up one there from Liam Tolentino. On the subject of consuming too much content at once, I remembered how my friend would do the most insane multitasking by having this is painful. League of Legends and Minecraft open and cycling between them while
Starting point is 00:34:05 taking a test for class online. Of course he did end up failing his first semester with this habit, but it baffled me how well he was doing at his league matches while spending half of his time digging a tunnel in Minecraft. Well, Minecraft isn't
Starting point is 00:34:21 exactly like a mental challenge to do it's Minecraft still though that's like like even playing like two turn-based RPGs at the same time it's like no and they're like the slowest games although I don't think we've really talked about this yet but this this current trend where like attention deficits are getting so extreme that now like videos aren't just videos anymore. They've got to have subway surfers and a calming sand video in the corner as well. You gotta have
Starting point is 00:34:58 like three, four things. And it's like sped up with some like high pitched like Harry Stiles music at the center. Yeah. And that song would Yeah. Every short for some reason. Yeah. No, it's ridiculous. I think in like
Starting point is 00:35:16 20 years, ADHD is just going to like be human. yeah yeah everyone like more people have it than don't type of them and then everyone will have it we're probably a way to get into that point yeah go to any point we've gone they're all just mentally all yeah they're all they're all subway surfing over there man yeah no you just have to literally watch any of these cod videos any of these war zone dot exc videos they are actually family guy clips no can't No, Family Guy Clips has got nothing on these cod videos, bro.
Starting point is 00:35:54 No, it does. You have to... I physically can't watch these cod videos because my mind goes blank, because there's so much shit you've got to take in that you can't actually... I understand nothing. There's so much stimulation. Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:08 Every single form of media, every single meme of the last 20 years is packed into these videos. Mm. The little meme dream. We never considered this when we embrace the memes. The little meme dream. Yeah. It's true. I didn't see it coming. I didn't see... What's the... what is your earliest memory
Starting point is 00:36:29 of like recognizing like that memes were here and they're here to stay sort of thing? Bro, from day one. Day one on the internet. Tell me what that is though. Like tell me a memory, a time. No, for me it was the Trollolololol guy.
Starting point is 00:36:45 Yep. Mm. Because I remember going into school and like I'd seen it. And, um, someone at school was like, oh, have you seen that, like, hilarious video? The troll-la-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l. Yeah, no, yeah. And it was like, wait, you've seen this as well? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:36:59 Oh, so everyone just knows. No, because that was a weird concept. It was like, oh, you know that joke? Yeah. Oh, weird. I've seen that funny image. Yeah, and then it was like Ray William Johnson with the big booty. You love that song.
Starting point is 00:37:15 It's genuinely good. It pops off. No, the earliest thing is that face. that's that that smiling face yellow face which one of our friends had an obsessing room and it pissed me up a lot
Starting point is 00:37:27 that was like early see for me when it like really when I made those mental connections in my brain was yeah it was like early secondary school you're seven year eight
Starting point is 00:37:39 someone was talking about um what's that guy uh Chuck Norris mm-hmm Trachinorice jokes But it's like it's always the same punchline But
Starting point is 00:37:55 When was the last time you saw truck noise I actually saw one like a week That's because you've only just recently Got in it gone into the goon hole No man No but it's this is the meme cycle It's meme cyclical Yeah
Starting point is 00:38:13 Because the classics came back for a little moment Didn't they? What classics? Classics, you know But this is it They didn't die in some communities The thing is the cycle Like it goes one full cycle
Starting point is 00:38:27 And then it does the same cycle But at double speed Yeah But all the eyes The age of the eyes At each part of the circle Are different as well Yeah
Starting point is 00:38:39 So like while the boomers on Facebook Are seeing one thing They're just seeing Trolla lo la loll right now Meanwhile Whatever's happening on TikTok is just something else. Well, no, because it's, it's,
Starting point is 00:38:52 meme culture is not the same as what it was. Like, Tronolol was a meme. Now a meme is a guy knocking over a sign in Dunkin' Donuts. Or a guy throwing something. Or combining memes and things like this. No, it's not in combining things. No, that is, like, a huge aspect of it. And, like, it is, like, the compounding of, like,
Starting point is 00:39:15 things everyone has seen. Vine. And then you, you, you, like see other ones that you haven't seen but other people have seen it's like yeah it's kind of like loads of like you know when you right click create shortcuts it's kind of like creating humor shortcuts you know hmm we just got all this little like short hand humor basically yeah we'll see after these messages you're fucking just go back in time to when things were innocent and my

There's always a good one man. Um, yeah, I guess this is the part where we answer questions from the subreddit. Just, uh, leave a question over there like Nugs 22 did.
Starting point is 00:43:05 Hi, boys. Just wanted to leave my two cents on how jars helped me socialize more at work. basically when I started my new job I didn't know anyone else who worked there and so to relieve some of the pressure of working closely with others I decided to break the ice by asking a classic jar question who'd win between peak physical condition Mike Tyson and a silverback gorilla the conversation always picked up after I asked this
Starting point is 00:43:32 and it was always fun hearing others input everyone said Tyson would win after that it's much easier to converse with my male co-workers now thanks to Jha Mike Tyson and our fellow primates Also the amount of people I've asked If they could beat a goose in a fight Who have said no
Starting point is 00:43:49 Is I am a pitifully high Hey you think you can beat a goose I could beat a goose I could beat a goose I could beat a goose yeah I could beat a bloody eagle Of course I can beat a goose You can't beat an eagle
Starting point is 00:44:00 I couldn't confidently take an eagle out But I feel like I could deal with a goose No I'm not talking about confidence That I'm talking about like Down to it arena fight Colisean is there yeah
Starting point is 00:44:16 that eagle comes down swoops for you it's all about timing at that point yeah and you might mess it up a few times get pretty sliced up and bloody but at that point
Starting point is 00:44:27 it's your jugular though bro it's done yeah but he's not gonna get my jugular no have you think they're flying around doing all day long what do you think they're doing like rats
Starting point is 00:44:37 yeah and how do you think they're not designed to take on a man No, bro, they eat bigger than rats Snakes Yeah, well you need to find that jugular fast No, a snake is all jugular That's all they are, they're just one big neck It's not
Starting point is 00:44:53 James, back me up on this one Do you know, Jamie is kind of correct Like, I don't think What is the biggest animal An eagle is going to take on? Other eagles Yeah, which are like Little pussy old birds
Starting point is 00:45:09 I think You underestimate birds And that's going to be your downfall What about if it If it manages to claw your eye In which case you're instantly like God Then that's one eye And then you'll blind get both
Starting point is 00:45:21 Yeah you'll be No You'll have no doubt perception While it's swooping around Yeah you'd be fucked I'm gonna be grabbing Just like flailing And it's gonna see that
Starting point is 00:45:31 They're animal They've got hit quicker reactions than you Nah I reckon you grab an eagle By the legs slam it to the ground And just keep slamming That thing's gonna...
Starting point is 00:45:40 If you can get the... The... If you can get it in that position, then maybe, bro. But you've got to get it in that position, you know? But I'm not thinking in terms of, like, me as a person. Because I'm a very big push over. No, but that's the question is about you. If the eagle...
Starting point is 00:45:57 If you... No, if the eagle walks up to me and starts having to go at me, I'll be like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, okay? I'll just do whatever you want. No, you just go, what's the point? But, like, if I get that blood rage and I start, like... start like freaking you know I go like that bird rage base human bird rage mode what Alex is probably the only one who's experienced that the bird rage no he's being
Starting point is 00:46:21 seeing wed so Alex what happy every everyone has that capacity yeah it's human it's as human nature to like see word yeah and it's like a self-defense thing and I think in combat with an eagle I would see red and somehow win. You'd see gold more like. Yeah. I'd see America. Even more we'd just smack the fucking shit on that.
Starting point is 00:46:50 It's like a principle. I would see gold on the golden goose. But yeah, like a goose, yeah, I could destroy. But anyway, yeah. That's good news. I'm glad. I've never applied our own, like, like this podcast to actual
Starting point is 00:47:09 like social situations I just think they'd be just really awkward what if you go up to someone and ask them a fun hypothetical that gets them engaged huh get clapped dude
Starting point is 00:47:25 yeah man I got a fun hypothetical for you okay give me fun hypothetical um this comes from Bebo Baby have you guys fallen for this stupid troll I see through this because I know I know a troll when I see it yeah you got you got trolled earlier though two weeks in a row but by
Starting point is 00:47:48 who the Australian guy they're being truthful and I'm I'm gonna put money down on that wow how much you you put money down on fruit gums being different and you lost you never paid I know you were actually wrong on that I was right no no no I was no no no that was an issue with the like your language contract not my language so you can't put this on me no I'm I'm putting it on both sides both language mm okay I'll take that but Bebo baby says did you hear that Mars are discontinuing the M&M spokes candy because right wingers were offended that the green M&M was not sexy and they added in it
Starting point is 00:48:29 and they bs M&M wait what did you not do you not know about this Did you hear that Mars are discontinuing the M&M spokes candy because right wingers were offended that the green M&M was not sexy and they added an obese M&M she was a girl the size of yellow peanut Eminem and they also had lesbian Eminem's the ones so they're discontinuing the like Eminem law that's what they're saying there was like some tweet from Mars well because they they own everything didn't they're like the
Starting point is 00:49:12 Disney of candies is that not necessarily well they are as well um did you did you not say any of any of these clips Jim no of a Tucker Carlson talking about the M-N-M's who's Tucker Carlson oh oh would henceforth, quote, acknowledge and embrace his anxiety because America badly needs more neurotic candy. Then late last year, Mars went further. The company added obese and distinctly frumpy lesbian M&Ms to promote, quote, feminism and body positivity.
Starting point is 00:49:51 In other words, explain the Mars Corporation, it's good to be fat. Have some more M&Ms. Well, we reported on this at the time and pledged a deeper investigation into it. But before we could complete our investigation, Mars announced that it's suspending its ad campaign, A chocolate vendor promoting obesity was just too shameless even by modern standards.
Starting point is 00:50:09 But at CNN, they were infuriated by the news. News anchors who have not had a carb since the Bush administration became hysterical as they defended Mars' pro-fatness campaign. CNN political analyst and notably unhappy person, Kirsten Powers, attacked the show. This is... What do you think of that one, very? I mean, it was pretty fun. what do they mean lesbian m&m that any of them have a sexuality they're chocolate
Starting point is 00:50:44 yeah but why are they calling it like an obese m and m like it's just it's just the peanut one but as a girl yeah that's the shape of a peanut m and ms um um the m and ms have like body fat they're like chocolate like crispy or brownie or just am-and-am to be honest it's just how old age culture
Starting point is 00:51:14 they feel that it's a threat to them so they get upset and it's just ridiculous it's the same with the Greg's vegan sausage raw so you're not the tucker on this you're not a tucker on this one
Starting point is 00:51:30 but it's like Is having like different M&Ms going to really push your brand of M&Ms that much further? Well I thought that's like what they've, like companies have always
Starting point is 00:51:47 done this. What? Well like they're there whether it be a candy whether it be a cereal they have their little mascot things. Yeah. And it's always just like a marketing stunt. Oh, there's a new one for this new flavor. Yeah. The new, uh, cheese string guy
Starting point is 00:52:06 the new pepperoni monster the new pepperoni the pepperoni one was particularly the pepperami guy yeah the pepper army he was effective because he scared you
Starting point is 00:52:20 have you not seen what they've done with him no no he's they've not wokeified him have they've they've woked the pepper army not the obese pepper army not the obese pepper army Man, yeah, I don't know what's going on out there anymore, you know? It's not the O.B.'s Budweiser guy.
Starting point is 00:52:49 Is this not just a sign, though, of like, we're doing a little bit too well? No, this is the thing. It's like, we need a war. This is what I'm saying. no no this is an actual theory that we're too comfortable right now we need yeah we are it's like the stuff we're getting upset about is a fat m and a hamman these these these fucking like men majority it's like you know it's the whole thing of like men majority it's like you know it's the whole thing of like men men need a challenge to like something to live for right and the fact that there's been no wars to die in for so long that
Starting point is 00:53:30 these men are like i've got to die on the front lines of the M&M fucking M&M debate Yeah It's like Make Do us all the favour And just send these
Starting point is 00:53:39 These boys To their fucking wars And let them Have their crisis Maybe that's the next war The M&M war Because I was just Thinking I'm Captain Morgan
Starting point is 00:53:48 So when are they Are they gonna get upset When it's called Captain Morgana And it's a woman Like Like how far Are these white women is going to take like this outwage.
Starting point is 00:54:04 Because it's like I don't get, truthfully, just get rid of all the mascots and all the chocolate. No, have more. No, I think it's all lame. No, I think about it. No, I hate mascots on like food.
Starting point is 00:54:16 I remember getting upset about the fruit winder mascots when I was a kid. The what? The fruit winders. But what? Fruit winders. Fruit winders. They've ruined them though.
Starting point is 00:54:27 Yeah, now they're double. Yeah, they're like, oh, it's the double fruit winder. No, you've just, like, cut the middle bit out. The best bit. Well, it used to just be one, like, fat roll of fruit winder. Yeah. And then you get the whole thing out and just...
Starting point is 00:54:41 No, you just roll into a big bolt. Well, yeah, you, like, squish it together until it becomes, like, perfectly spherical. And then you just... But now you can't, because you... By doing that, they've saved probably about trillions a year. Well, yeah, they... They've probably halved how much you get in one. and then sell it for more.
Starting point is 00:55:01 Yeah. You get two now. Yeah, but what I was trying to say about how upset I was by the woke fruit winder guys. I've always been ahead of the curve on that one. Haven't I, guys? Yeah. No, I'm tired of the woke cheese string propaganda. Timmy, the tiger is really just pushing it on.
Starting point is 00:55:28 the sugar yeah the sugar path monster he's eating too much pussy but but don't you think politicizing any like like mascot is just inherently like backwards
Starting point is 00:55:45 yeah it's a mascot the corporate overlords you can't align yourself either way it's a mascot it's a mascot to sell things sugary fucking puffs
Starting point is 00:55:59 just make him like a monster just make it a sausage you know you're really just like you're just looking for shit to get angry about you're just you're trying to get pissed up yeah but do you think Eminem's kind of wanted this let's provoke them
Starting point is 00:56:17 let's push them well the theory is they're like they're lying that they're like they've put this whole thing up on Twitter saying that they're not doing the mascots anymore and now Maya Rudolph is going to be their mascot for M&M's. Who's Myrudeau?
Starting point is 00:56:31 She's that unfunny comedian that's in all, like, every bad movie. Like, the emoji movie. Or, um, I don't know, she's in, she's the voice in loads of things that suck. I don't know, I'll tell you something.
Starting point is 00:56:50 I'll tell you something she, Maya Rudolph is in. Big Mouth. Oh, who is she in Big Mouth? She's the female hormone monster. I have no Oh her I know nothing about this person Her
Starting point is 00:57:02 She's in like every American comedy thing Yeah she's in like grownups Is she in grownups I guess She's in her bridesmaids And uh inherent vice I guess And grownups
Starting point is 00:57:16 Big mouth In grownups I had no idea That was the big mouth Female monster No she's like a big voice actor She's like In everything
Starting point is 00:57:26 Um for some reason um yeah what's I saying about the cheese string guy again um got some kind of issue with him yeah the baby bell ball
Starting point is 00:57:40 is gone too much yeah the baby bone bell yeah yeah yeah I don't know man I feel like there's a there's definitely a gap in the market
Starting point is 00:57:55 for like cool mascots anime mascots that's what's missing kill the mascots I want to kill all of them off I want my packaging to be sleek and look nice James wants just like white cardboard boxes that says like Cheerios No
Starting point is 00:58:15 No no that's No no No because when When does it matter Like the ads I'm not watching these ads And these ads aren't making me by the chocolate Because marketing doesn't work marketing works to make you outwaged
Starting point is 00:58:29 not true man but when you go into a shop you already know what you're going to buy so whatever's on the packaging doesn't even matter because you know the chocolate you want no bro you gotta do some reading about sciops right now
Starting point is 00:58:40 no but that's what I'm saying if it has a tune then it works the mascot I don't give a shit no I'm the inverse of you the tune makes me just get angry but the mascot makes me thrill. Oh my God, that's so cringe.
Starting point is 00:59:00 It's not about whether the tune makes you angry or not. If you remember it. The A, like, you don't get an image stuck in your head. You don't get an image stuck in your head the same way you get a song stuck in your head. You can't get that song out of your head.
Starting point is 00:59:17 Nah, nah, nah, nah. I'm loving it. Suddenly you want to suck down fucking 30 chicken select. What's that? KFC's one. Fuck on. No, but this is the thing Alex that has never listened to the radio since he left school. Alex has no idea about any of these ads. I hate the radio. I never watch live TV.
Starting point is 00:59:36 I basically never see ads. I watch a lot of YouTube, but I use YouTube red or whatever it's called now, Premium. I watch so much red chief. I just never see others. Yeah, with Pornow Premium, you like never see. You're, that's... mind blowing to me because I don't see many ads but at least I know I know what's in circulation my my favorite thing about ads because like YouTube is like the main thing I get advertisement
Starting point is 01:00:08 through but YouTube has that thing with like the five second timer yeah and a lot of advertising dudes like cottoned onto it and they were like no please please yeah they get like George Clooney to be like wait don't go I've got something important to say and And I'll be like Fuck you bitch You know It makes me triple clip Yeah
Starting point is 01:00:31 It motivates you more To be like No fuck No that's a thing That's one way But there's the other way Which is like ADHD
Starting point is 01:00:40 It's just like All the information In that five seconds Yeah So you get that's what movie trailers Started doing That's why every movie trailer Has like
Starting point is 01:00:47 A shortened version Of the same trailer In five seconds And then it plays The full trailer Yeah Yeah It's like
Starting point is 01:00:55 to just slow down. There's no time for slowing down. Speed up, baby. Speed up and like the obese Eminem on Facebook. Do you side with the obese Eminem? Why? The audacity of calling an Eminem obese. They weren't saying that about the yellow Eminem when he's been chilling.
Starting point is 01:01:20 Yeah. He must have been around for decades, that guy. One of them is voiced by the, He's like, all the few trauma voices. He does the main M&M. That's right, yeah. Fry. It's probably like, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:01:36 John Cleese is probably one of the other ones. No, he'd never be an obese Eminem. No, he would be like the brownie Eminem or something. Or is that, that's like one of the middle. John Cleese wouldn't align with the M&Ms because they're too woke, I'm afraid. Yeah, you're pretty sure you're not one of that. It'd be Sean Connery. Kevin's
Starting point is 01:01:59 He's back As an M&M No, he's a smarty They made the smarty guy Come on James Make me a mascot No
Starting point is 01:02:18 For a candy that doesn't have one Where's the Reese's piece guy Hmm you want a piece Yeah, Reese No He's wearing like a trench coat And he's like
Starting point is 01:02:30 Hey, you want a piece Or he's like a bocker And he's like You want a piece of me? And then the guy's like Yeah And then he takes out a little buttercup And he's like
Starting point is 01:02:40 Mmm I hate it No James What's like one of your favorite products That doesn't have a mascot I don't like any That have a mascot Well that's what
Starting point is 01:02:52 It's dairy milk Dairy milk A cow. Milker, their mascot is the cow. Make a milker mascot. Do you know what is one? One mascot I've always hated was the Dary Lee mascot. The cow.
Starting point is 01:03:06 That scary cow. It's like kind of a melfth. I know what my favorite mascot is. He camel cigarettes, camel. Oh, yeah. Nice. Do you know what actually should happen? And this is a strong opinion that has no effect.
Starting point is 01:03:24 on me, but we need to make making, we need to make cigarettes cool again. I want them to bring the... No, no, no, no, this is an actual fact. Society and art was better when cigarettes had cool packaging. That's a fact. Every, all of your favourite movies were made
Starting point is 01:03:44 in times when cigarettes were cool. Marlborough. Marlborough packaging the camel packaging. No, but like the packaging we have here. It's cringe. But it's just England.
Starting point is 01:04:02 Oh, putting like the rotting corpses or whatever. Yeah. On them, whatever they do now. No, we need to make them cool. Cool packaging. It's weird that, you forget about that.
Starting point is 01:04:15 I bought that little box of cigars like a couple weeks back and like on the box it's just like some lungs or whatever. They try to make them as grotesque as possible But it does nothing It does nothing Yeah it doesn't really stop
Starting point is 01:04:29 It probably costs them more To like print that stuff I'm more stressed Because they go to look at these stressful images They're printing on everything Yeah you're so stressed You're like man I need a smoke No but I'm kind of desperate to be seeing
Starting point is 01:04:47 The camel from the cigarettes You mean camel siguettes It's charmed media a lot, Alex. You know what it looks like. I want to see that camel put on milker bars. No, in his, but what? Like a team up. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:02 Camel cigarette's milker bars. That's what they're missing out on. They need like M&Ms and like cheese strength. What are you saying? We're going to have a crossover event of chocolate mascots. Not just chocolate though. Is there going to be an end game of mascots? Yeah, well, what would be like the craziest mascot, like, cross-suit?
Starting point is 01:05:22 section. They're like Cheetos guy. Like the Durazel battery in the back. Yeah. The Durisole battery. Battery.
Starting point is 01:05:33 The Durisle battery. It's a bunny, isn't it? The Duriselle bunny. Duriselle's the bunny. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, he's got like a battery in his back. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:47 He could have like a whole movie. Yeah. I'm surprised we haven't had the Durisell bunny. Mr. Clean being like, showing up. Mr. Mussel. Yeah. It would be like a, oh, like, cinematic universe.
Starting point is 01:06:02 Yeah. Food fight. Food fight. Yeah. But who would be like the character, who is like the main one? Like the leader mascot. Wait, well, what of chocolate? No, of everything.
Starting point is 01:06:19 Tony the Tiger is like the main guy. Let's do Google. Surely it's Mickey Mouse. But what's he, no, he's not a mascot of, he's just Disney. It's got to be like a product. It's got to be food or a cleaning product or like a car company. What car company mascots are there? There's the, there's the noid.
Starting point is 01:06:41 That's a classic. The domino is noid. Avoid the noid. Okay, she's got the Pringles, man. Oh, yeah, the Pringles go. Oh, I hate the Pringles go. no he was good but now he used to be the Monopoly man

Starting point is 01:09:41 no no no no no no no no no no no no are we gonna see no put the money down right now are we gonna see the Marvel versus DC movie before we die yeah absolutely but this was a thing Marvel will be so big
Starting point is 01:10:00 Marvel be so big that they'll be able to buy DC Disney buys DC and then then they'll be able to make it a Marvel V DC movie but saying saying like before we die does that include like the the
Starting point is 01:10:16 digital upload of ourselves no well no because the first people to upload their consciousness, we'll just die. No, it will just be like a copy. No, they'll be dead. Okay, no, you're thinking about it this too far. In the next few decades, then? Yes.
Starting point is 01:10:35 No. Yeah. Do you think Warner Bros would let go of that? They are the thing that is stopping Disney from taking over the world. Warner Bros. Yeah. Yeah, I guess they got like, they got Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:11:13 Yeah Ruby Ruby Where are you Where are you? James, I got something that will cheer you up. No. From both by 3944. Here in the States, it's very common for people to drive around in SUVs.
Starting point is 01:11:31 And knowing James has negative thoughts on them, it got me thinking. If James was forced to buy an SUV, what would he get? I may be biased, but there's some nice looking ones out there. I was personally a fan of my old 1999 Nissan Pathfinder. Shit was fun as fuck. Bear bear boys. shit was fan as fuck pathfinder like
Starting point is 01:11:57 like your main in apex I would buy I would buy a pickup there wouldn't be any pickup if I was forced to I would make it a pre-runner what's that it's a vehicle
Starting point is 01:12:14 it's a competition spec racing vehicle but is road legal and is used by racing driver is to do a waist before the waist day. A blade runner, did you say? No, it's a highly
Starting point is 01:12:28 modified truck with huge suspension and being able to do jumps and it's like imagine what my Nissan's going to be, but as a pickup. But I don't know what it's going to be. What about an El Camino? That's not a muscle car, not a pickup. It's got like a pickup truck, though.
Starting point is 01:12:48 No. It's got like a boot. When are they going to start making pickups and start making letdowns? Letdowns. They exist. Bro, that's a pre-wonner. They're called Renaucleos. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:02 Okay. I just want a pre-woner because then you can literally just drive over anything all the time. C-a-Moto-Moto? Can you drive over lava? I saw it. One of my YouTube shorts was like pouring lava in terms. water. It was one of those that...
Starting point is 01:13:23 What happened? We just kind of went in. It was cool. And of course, you know the song that was playing. You know if... You made that. That piece of music. Epidemic sound.
Starting point is 01:13:42 James made it. Hindu frat has one for us. You're fucking disgusting. That wasn't even. me. Have you boys ever had any experience with watching lolcows? For example, people like Chris Chan or Darkside Phil.
Starting point is 01:13:58 Alex. I personally find them to be very interesting and fun to watch their stories. Even if a lot of them aren't the best people. If I had to recommend a lol cowl cow to look into, I would highly recommend King Cobbredgev. He's just a weird dude who's done really
Starting point is 01:14:14 funny stuff like put hair dye on his entire body before going to work at Wendy's or nearly setting his house. on fire from making fried potatoes um Alex is the only one out of us three who has any obsession with Lorla Cowes and knows anything about them I don't you do name a lolcow uh Christian you know more than that Alex you love laura cows I don't love loll cows I was actually going to say in my point of bringing this up was um a lot of this like especially Chris Chan that's like the one right everyone loves it people are so obsessed with it there's that
Starting point is 01:14:55 youtube series slash podcast is a bit disgusting though in it that exists that is just like a comprehensive history of this dude um and i tried like a month or two ago i started because you know chris chan i know i know the worst stuff he's done the basics um i started listening to this this podcast version i just i couldn't it just made me feel kind of weird um because a lot of lull cows are just like people who are quite mentally ill kind of just being clowned on um yeah it's sad to me it's it's the same as like like uh britain's next top fucking talent whoever m britain's got talent were the content were the contents at the expense of the person yeah and a lot of the time they're like clearly
Starting point is 01:15:48 someone that like isn't quite with it and then it's just like oh so you're just like crushing their dreams in front of thousands millions of people as entertainment yeah yeah I find it kind of gross not for me but people get like really into this concert
Starting point is 01:16:06 there's like websites that collate and have like threads ever going threads of like lull cows and the new thing they're doing but I think it's like it's comforting to watch because it's like man at least I'm not them yeah I think that that whole thing goes way deeper into the so it's like a psychology thing I I it's so deep that I can't
Starting point is 01:16:28 explain it but I'm pretty sure contra points is on a whole video on it and that the people obsessed of these little cows are like um our lol cows and it's just like they would be yeah yeah but because they're consuming and obsessed of this lull cow prevents them from being that the lol cow yeah well it's like if you think about it if you just go back and think about
Starting point is 01:16:56 when things like these colosseum fights or public executions and things were like considered like a type of entertainment like if you if you were like wandering through town and like someone's like quick they're about to execute that guy
Starting point is 01:17:13 quick come see you'd probably be like all right then cool Then you go watch it, wouldn't you? Well, like right now. Well, in that environment. I mean, yeah, I mean, like, there's this thing like in us that's like, what?
Starting point is 01:17:33 Well, yeah, because then if you're with the crowd watching them, you're like safe, you're like, yes, I'm one of you guys. I'm one of the safe people. Yeah, at the expense of the guy who's fighting a lion or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. Which, to be fair, like, pretty badass. Mm.
Starting point is 01:17:54 What if it's at the expense of the guy who stole the loaf of bread getting sliced for the town to see? Uh, well, probably shouldn't have been stealing that slice, eh? Mm. He loses a finger for every slice. I stole a whole loaf. well guys got two more here uh oh i've thought about this but i'm not sure really what can be said uh but i don't know pink flubes says thoughts on rick and morty continuing without justin roland
Starting point is 01:18:36 um end it do you think just cut the cord just stop it cancel it i mean it kind of is what the show is. Yeah. And the best you're going to get is someone doing an impression. Yeah, I stopped watching a long time ago, but I feel like... It's been bad for a while. Even now, like, could you even engage with it? If, like, even, like, knowing now, if they keep doing it, like, it's someone...
Starting point is 01:19:12 Like, doing an impression, I feel like, they'd always be in the back of your mind. Yeah, but also, like, it's... it's already like a parody of itself though in a way like pop culture it's flanders it's been flanders yeah yeah it is weird there because it's like it's not it's not just rick and morty this effects like high and life just came out was huge yeah you had a whole like video game publishing thing yeah squunch games or whatever he called it yeah there's that there's some solar opposites
Starting point is 01:19:50 I think he's got like a few shows that he was like the lead voice in like the main thing in the project it's like I don't know if they wanted to do like another high on life
Starting point is 01:20:02 but like how these projects that you can't really detach from that is kind of what sold them yeah was that voice and that but also that attachment alone is like you can't really watch
Starting point is 01:20:17 like season one in the same light it's that age old thing where like art from the artist or whatever god James hates R&M so much there's there's probably hundreds
Starting point is 01:20:35 of people who can do a better voice acting work than him you can easily find a wick and you can easily find a Morty 100% it wouldn't even be hard But can you find a Rick and Morty That's the question Well you don't need to find them in one
Starting point is 01:20:49 You can just hire two different people That's not the point though It's like No I don't I 100% think it should be cancelled But it's just like He's not like a unique, super unique voice actor He's difficult to a place It's too big of a brand isn't it
Starting point is 01:21:03 Because they'd renewed it for like seasons and seasons Yeah yeah This was a long time ago as well It's been renewed for like eight seasons After like season two Yeah, I don't know It's unfortunate this Yeah
Starting point is 01:21:18 I mean I still don't even know Like the full story I don't like Don't need to know He's a cunt Yeah That's basically all I know It's not like
Starting point is 01:21:31 It's not like allegations though Like a lot of these are It's like an actual like Yeah This is like a court case Like Yeah Alright then
Starting point is 01:21:43 Let's send on this one from a spring trap But Fresh Hello brothers Further elaboration on cannibalistic hamsters Incoming I love this topic I love that we keep getting these little nuggets I'm currently studying biology and university
Starting point is 01:21:59 And have my first fundamentals of zoology lecture today I shit you not Our first case study Detailed how hamsters cannibalize They're young if they lack certain nutrients in their environment, such as vitamin B3. Not only that, but they went on to specify that hamsters will store their young in areas commonly used as hamster food storages before cannibalizing them.
Starting point is 01:22:26 Could not believe that hamsters premeditatively put their children in the food cupboard before eating them. Nearly burst out laughing because of that jar episode a few weeks back. official worst species ever yeah that is bleat can you imagine like a human having a baby and putting them in like the I'm putting you in hungry corner
Starting point is 01:22:54 putting them in the fridge in like the cheese drawer that's effectively what they're doing because they were they got to be real there were a few hamster defenders in the comments they're just doing what they need to but is it because they're like Man, I'm not getting what I need, so how are they going to get what they need? Like, might as well just take them out now.
Starting point is 01:23:16 Might as well have their nutrients. I'm never going to unsee that video you showed me. Of like, this hamster just gulping. Free babies, mate? Yeah, not even chewing. It's horrible. I hate it. I hate that I've seen that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:37 I hate the internet. I find these things I have to unload it and share so then it's not on me anymore. You don't, you don't, you don't. What do you mean? No, I don't. So you're trauma dumping. Yeah, you are trauma dumping. No, because then I feel no guilt anymore and I've just offloaded it onto you guys. Well, can I say the same if I see like execution videos online then? Because that's what that's the logic you're using. Yeah. No, because that's making me a fucking freak That I don't
Starting point is 01:24:11 I don't want to see any of these weird videos you find Alex What's you mean? It's just hamsters eating each other I don't want to see them Well, you've already seen it and it's too late I don't want to see them in the future Well no, it's done now No, you'll just find the next one
Starting point is 01:24:27 I'll find something else more epic and interesting Like the weird dogs you always send me Yeah Or is that too crawler or is that too sensitive as a subject for you to admit no that would be a good series is just no no we just record
Starting point is 01:24:44 our reels and just go through reels bro no because your wheels are fucked up I don't have reels because I'm just kind of an indie sort of because mine are awesome no but yours are fucked up no you have to admit I used to have some rocking me no you did and now
Starting point is 01:25:02 I'm left to just deal with the Alex's obsession of munted animals. It's a scary memes. Be real. What did you think of the cooler? Do you remember I had the dude running and it was da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Like, we discovered a whole genre of music.
Starting point is 01:25:20 That was a fine meme. Not, like, horrific in any sense. Whereas, like, every other one of yours is like... It's actually a bit fucked up. Oh, this is like a deformed creature that's... By, no, why are you obsessed with deformed creatures Alex. I'm not the algorithm is that algorithm is tailored to you
Starting point is 01:25:40 no people this guy just loves like freaks of nature just give them all the freaks I find this really actually like fucked up because I think that if you if you see these videos of these animals that are like clearly deformed and they clearly just being loved by their owners
Starting point is 01:25:59 finding it funny is like actually fucking horrible. No but but that but They're intentionally making videos knowing that it's going to get a lot of views because they put... Yeah, I think the owners have a while to play here because they're exploiting that animal for cloud. Yeah, I think it's disgusting. They're like inbreeding, they're like buying inbred animals and being like, well, I mean, if nothing else, this will get a lot of views on TikTok. Yeah, I'll get... I can make a merch line.
Starting point is 01:26:24 At least I can brand it the crawler and have it fucking... No, but the owners might be bad, but then there's an Alex on the other end who fucking loves it and he's clicking like and... You know, giving, it's feeding the algorithm and the money they're getting from this. You shouldn't, if you, actually, you shouldn't be taking any part in this. You might as well be a human trafficker. Yeah. Now, here's the thing though, right? These videos, they have hundreds of thousands of likes, you know?
Starting point is 01:26:54 Yeah, because of people like you. No, and you go on the comments and it's people like, oh, only in Ohio. Yeah, but what's your point? Like, what's the defense? There is no defense. I say we're EMP fucking... Facebook H-Kid. So you're saying you're a victim of the algorithm.
Starting point is 01:27:14 I'm a victim of Mark Zuckerberg, yes. No, the thing is, I don't know anyone who likes that algorithm more than Alex. And I don't feel that this is something you should be proud of. You love your algorithm. No, my algorithms are mainly shit. You will sit there and... love every single video you see. Well, the best ones are videos
Starting point is 01:27:37 are people picking up pigs. Like giant pigs. Picking up pigs. Yeah. The interesting thing about my algorithm is because like, now the only thing I use is YouTube shorts. You might as well just download Instagram. Yeah, but I never like anything.
Starting point is 01:27:58 And I've very, very, very and I very, very rarely share anything so the only thing it can go off is like how quickly I swipe and it does it knows yeah it knows when I watch a whole video
Starting point is 01:28:14 and then maybe watch it again and then swipe or if it just starts a video and then I swap no but that's where that's why my Instagram feed is so good because I know like it because you like the ones you watch them multiple times
Starting point is 01:28:28 and you like them deliver me a crawler I don't want The thing is, I don't want to just be given the things that I already know that I like. I want to, like... You want the hardship of finding them. I want to be provided with new things. Because if I, like, I'm getting a lot of, like, DC, like, Batman, Superman, the Flash.
Starting point is 01:28:48 The Superhero cringe is awesome on there. Yeah, but I'm getting a lot of that because often, like, the Flash will come up and I'll be like, okay, let's just watch this. It's like pretty funny. And... If I like that, it'll be like, oh, now I'm only getting that. Whereas suddenly, like, some, like, munted dog will come up. And I'll just immediately, like, flicks. I'm like, I want to look at this.
Starting point is 01:29:14 No, you do. You want to see a frog queen ivy sprinting around with glee. What? Now, come on. You loved it when I showed you the crawler. I saw the smile. I hate every... I generally.
Starting point is 01:29:29 hate every single animal video you send me no I absolutely hate them because I just feel wrong these don't I do the chihuahas
Starting point is 01:29:39 okay that char one that that was I verbally said that was horrible what's wrong with that no that animal does not look healthy
Starting point is 01:29:48 it's like clearly a bit fucked up well yeah that surely that's why they're sharing it on Instagram yeah no they're sharing on Instagram for clown because they're like
Starting point is 01:29:57 oh shit this is like crazy like thing. So let's film it, get a bunch of views and let's film it as many times as possible until its head fucking explodes because it's going to die soon. Yeah. So what you're saying is animal
Starting point is 01:30:11 abuse? Generally it's like a reason for breeders to continue breeding animals to this horrible degree. But okay, then we're getting into thing because you're saying that some of these animals have been purposely bred and inbred to the
Starting point is 01:30:27 point where some, there's a lot of dogs out there who have just been born with like their noses are slightly tipped like bent over yeah these dogs are perfectly fine and having them on Instagram is not bad because these dogs livelihoods are not being affected but when you see a dog that is like no doesn't have a spine
Starting point is 01:30:42 or if suddenly a certain type of dog like becomes popular on social media it's like oh we got to breed that type of dog I don't think these breeders are munching these other dogs and then all these people are like oh I'll take a munted dog so I can get some like fire
Starting point is 01:30:58 can you just break it? his legs for me. I really want a fancier crawler. I don't think these breeders are using... I think TikTok is directly leading to the end of humanity. Yeah, we established that. That's a well-known...
Starting point is 01:31:13 The kids in five years... No, no, it's the kids... It's the 10-year-olds now who are actually gooned on the fucking TikTok. When they get to 18, they are going to be fucking useless. What do you think they're... No, imagine these kids. They're going to go to union, do a bunch of fucking LSD,
Starting point is 01:31:28 fucking destroy their brain and guess what nothing's being invented ever again because they're all fucked because of frog dog yeah because of you and your stupid videos I just are not really engaging in anything like that like on the same way
Starting point is 01:31:43 would there be like a new thing maybe we're just like big boomers no no the end we're the only generation to ever invent anything going forward because the one's coming up you sound a lot like my great grandma boomer
Starting point is 01:32:01 I've heard of a place called the end you know what I'm saying notch the end is nigh the end times prepare yourself they're coming the end is notch
